Allen, Jane Martin d. 1912 Feb 21- MARTIN [SRGP 82545] MARTIN - Mrs. Jane M. Allen, widow of the late Prof. Fordyce A. Allen, formerly principal of the Mansfield State Normal School, died Wednesday noon after an illness of several days. She spent most of her life in Mansfield and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. The funeral was held at St. James Episcopal church Friday. - The Wellsboro Agitator, Feb. 28, 1912 Jane Martin Allen, widow = 82545 Death Cert. #22128; Cause – Senile debility; Senile dementia & malnutrition b. 10 August 1830, Portage, NY; d. 21 February 1912, Mansfield Boro, PA Parents – Alexander Martin + Eveline Hines Informant – Stella Allen, Mansfield, PA Signed by – ?? Elliott, MD, Mansfield, PA; 22 February 1912 Burial – 23 February 1912, Mansfield, PA 1887.05.25 Capt. A. D. Wright, late of Eustace, Florida, has leased of Mrs. Jane M. Allen the Soldiers' Orphan School in this boro, and will take possession June 1st. The lease is for one year with the privilege of two if satisfactory. Mrs. Allen will remove to Elmira where she will be joined by her father, now of Minnesota. Superintendent James E. Mathews will remain in Mansfield for the present at least. The Mansfield Orphan School was established in 1867 by Prof. Fordyce A. Allen, who conducted it until his death in 1880. Since then it has been under the control of his widow, Mrs. Jane M. Allen, with the exception of one year, 1884, when it was leased to Vine R. Pratt, of this place. There are now 125 male and 85 female children in attendance. Capt. Wright is a civil engineer by profession and was formerly a Normal student in this boro. He served his country with distinction during the late civil war, and is a prominent Grand Army man. He was a member of the famous Pennsylvania Bucktails, and subsequently served as a Captain of colored troops in the regular army. Miss Jane Wilkinson, who retired from the school about a year ago, will again occupy the position of matron. The patrons of the school have been more than pleased with Supt. Mathews' administration of the affairs of the institution, and will learn with regret of his retirement and that of Mrs. Allen, both of whom are held in the highest esteem. Capt. Wright is a gentleman of fine executive ability, and there seems to be no reasonable doubt of his conducting the school acceptably to the patrons and the State. October 1889 - Allen Hotel The Central Hotel Mrs. Jane M. Allen has spared neither trouble nor expense in transforming the Orphan school main building into one of the most attractive and home-like hotels in Tioga County. The building has been newly papered and painted throughout. The sample rooms for the accommodation of commercial are large, well-lighted and conveniently located. The table is at all times supplied with the best the market affords and the terms by the day or week are moderate. Farmers and others wishing hotel accommodations will make no mistake by stopping at the Central Hotel, corner of Main and Wellsboro Sts., Mansfield, PA. There is an abundance of barn room and a kind and competent hostler to look after patron' horses. |
